sealed by the holy spirit

isla louise was baptized on november 2, all saint's day, at saint paul's episcopal church in bellingham. it was a lovely service with about 10 other candidates! we felt sad that isla's godparents couldn't be present, but her grandparents stood in for them. and we count you all as her extended community, and therefore charge you to "do all in your power to support this person in her life in christ... with god's help!"

grandma made this gorgeous baptism dress. i wanted something wintry and very simple, made from cream with a little pale pink. grandma mixed and matched a few patterns to come up with this. it is so lovely. and so is its wearer!

she is sealed by the holy spirit and marked as christ's own forever. hooray!
